Who wants Robert Mugabe to be allowed entry into South Africa? Not me!
Unless it is to arrest him and throw him into a deep pit for the rest of his stinking life.
Yet, our government entertains Mugabe, a vicious blood thirsty murdering tyrant, as a friend, and denies entry to the Dalai Lama, a man of peace.
I hope this hurts you in the election, ANC. But I wonder if it matters to many South African voters?
At least Gatsha is doing something about it. I hope the court orders that a visa be issued.
